This chicken noodle casserole recipe combines the flavors of homemade chicken noodle soup in a delicious casserole. While I was sorting laundry today, my four-year-old combined olive oil, peanut butter, and a Costco-sized container of cinnamon and put the mixture in coffee filters. When I reminded him that he was not supposed to cook withoutRead More
Homeschool Resources Meme
I was tagged in a Homeschool Resources Meme by Tricia at HodgePodge. Some of you may already know that I homeschooled our two oldest children from kindergarten through graduation. After homeschooling for 16 years this is my year off. But my sabbatical will only last for one year. We were blessed with a bonus babyRead More
Review: Clearly Fresh Bags
I was contacted this summer by Clearly Fresh Bags and asked if I would like to review their Clearly Fresh 1 Gallon Re-Closable Zip Bags. I researched their bags online and was please with what I read. A package of ten 1 gallon bags sells for $3.99, most of the bag is recyleable, and theRead More
“Real” Fast Food for Busy Nights
I am enjoying the cooler weather and the smell of new books, but I am not fond of the crush of activities that begin in September. Many nights I am pulling in the drive way ten minutes after I was planning on serving dinner. So I do a little preplanning and combine it with recipes that IRead More
Mediterranean Garden Frittata
I should let you know right off that my daughter named this dish. I wanted to call it Italian Vegetable Frittata, but she didn’t think that sounded romantic or exotic enough for her favorite frittata. She is a kindred spirit to Anne of Green Gables and often complains about the plebeian names I give my dishes.Read More
Southwest Steak Frittata
Frittatas are a great way to use up leftovers. They are also a wonderful way to sneak excess garden veggies into your kids at breakfast. And for some reason people are always impressed with frittatas. When I serve them, my friends and family always act like I went to a lot of trouble and IRead More

Menu Plan – Week of September 5th
I haven’t shared a menu plan in months. Our schedule has been crazy busy this summer and I have just been winging dinner based on who is home and how much time I have to prepare dinner. Last week my two oldest children started back to college which means order is being imposed on myRead More
Using Whisper Counting to Teach Even and Odd
As soon as my children are comfortable counting. I introduce them to whisper counting. Why? Mostly because it is fun. You alternate whispering and shouting numbers and children enjoy whispering and shouting, especially if it is in a place that you normally don’t shout…like the grocery store! Whisper counting lays the foundation for teaching the conceptRead More

Southwest Pasta Salad
I had some leftover grilled chicken from making my Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Fajitas. Even though I only grilled two chicken breasts they had rib meat attached, so one was more than enough to make fajitas for my family of five. I was contemplating what to do with the leftover fajita seasoned chicken when IRead More

Easy Stir-Fry with Squash
This is another one of those impromptu, throw together dinners that I wouldn’t normally share. However, I have felt convicted lately that I have not been sharing enough of our normal (for us) dinners. I am sharing this not because I think you should replicate this recipe, but so you can apply the concept toRead More
Frugal, Easy Homemade Book To Make With Your Child
One of the best ways I have found to encourage my children to write and draw is to help them make their own book. The directions below are for the first book I help my children make. It is fast, easy, and only requires 8 x 11 paper and scissors. If you are a perfectionist,Read More
Pasta Salad with Squash
I am still trying to use up the squash from my garden. It may be a losing battle, but I am not willing to give up yet. In this situation, I could best be described as stubbornly optimistic because I am not just harvesting squash by the basket full, I am harvesting it by theRead More
Southwest Squash Lasagna
This throw together meal was delicious, but I must confess it wasn’t premeditated. I have admitted before that I often have a hard time coming in from the garden in the evenings to make dinner. Earlier in the season when I had lots of greens, I could throw together a salad. Unfortunately, with the exception ofRead More
How to Make Superfine/Caster Sugar
Sometimes a recipe will call for superfine or caster sugar. When you go to the store you will also find this sugar called ultrafine sugar, baking sugar, and/or castor sugar. But it isn’t anything special and you don’t need to pay a premium price for it because it is easy to make yourself. All you need isRead More
Vegetable Frittata
My horse, Toddy, came home from the trainer’s this evening. We are all thrilled to have him home, even the cats came out to the pasture to welcome him home. With all the excitement and commotion I forgot to cook dinner, so I ran out to the garden, grabbed some veggies and whipped up aRead More
